maatasa The ineinber o is adapted to snugly fit within the seat 4, and be retained therein detachably by any preferred ineans, the retaining means illustrated being two end bars 7, spanning the recessed seat to serve as keepers, and whichare forined integral with the casting. This casting provides an incxpcnsive and effective securing nieans for the nut cracker, perniitting one or the other meniber thereof to be readily slid into the seat below the keepers, and seciu'ing said ineinber in positionwith its serrated jarx portion fiush with the adjacent side portions S of the standard. This leaves the other nieinber of To all w/wm it may concem Be it .known that I, Einer E. HENDERSON, a citizen o'f the United States, and residing at Denver, in the county of Denver and State of Colorado, 'have invented certain new and useful. niproveinents in Niit-Bowie, of which the following :'3 a specification.

This invention relates to nut bowls, and its priinary objeet is, to provide a bowl with a nut cracker so attached within the bowl as to serve as a handle for lifting or passing the bowl.

A further Object of the invention is to provide a bowl with a centrally-projecting standard provided with a seat to receive one of the pivoted members of a nut-cracker and support the sanie in the proper horizontal position to co-aet with the other pivoted ineinberf hns permitting a nut to be conveniently craohed within the bowl..

The Construction of the improved bowl will he fully described hereinafter in connection with the accoinpanying drawing which constitutes a part of this spccification, and its features of novelty will bc set forthand defined in the appended claims.

In the drawin 'z Fi ure l is a oers iective ta :3 L

secured meniber ready .for use as a nut cracker, and also alines the two members so that their handle portions may be readily grasped to lift the bowl and thus serve as a convenient handle for the latter.

The utility of the invention will be apparent from the illustration in the drawing in connection with the foregoing description, but it may be added that the device not only provides a bowl for which the nut cracker' serves as the handle for lifting and passing, cracker centrally within the bowl renders the use of the cracker most onvenient, the standard serving as a base` for supporting the nut, and the upwardly-extending sides and edges of the bowl afi'ording an effective guard to Catch broken pieces oi' Shell.

`What is claiined as new is 1. A nut-bowl provided with a support projecting upward centrally from the bottom oi' the bowl, having a seat at its upper end, in combination witha uut-cracker comprising a pair of pivoted ja ws one of the jaws of which is secured in said seat leaving the other jaw in position for pivotal moveinent.

EB. The combination with a nut-bowl, of a support of elongated shape in cross-section projecting upwardly from the bowl, and formed at its upper end with a recessed seat extending throughout the .longer diaineter of the support, and a nut-cracker consisting of co-acting pivoted members having` one of its pivoted members secured in said seat, wherebyuthe cracker .is suitably supported for use in cracking nuts, and also serves as a handle for the bowl. t

3. The combination with a nut-bowl, having a standard projecting centrally :from the bottom of the bowl, and provided at its tion, with a nut cracker in position the'rein. l ig. 2 is a central vertical section of the howl, the craclrer being shown in elevation, and Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view, partly broken away, of the upper end of the' standard.

The reference nunierai l designates a bowl of the usual or any desired form, provided to the bottom of the bowl by any preferred fastening' nieans, the ineans here shown (Fig. 2) consisting of a central screw 3 extending through an Opening in the bowl and into the standard. i v

Vl hile the invention oniprehends and includes standards of any desired cross-sectiona'l contour, the standard 2 shown in the drawing is a casting of a somewhat rectangular form or elongated in Cross-section. This Construction adords space at the upper end of the standard for the formation of a recessed seat 4: of suilcient lengthto receive and properly support one of the pivoted members of an ordinary nut eracker consisting of two similar members pivotally-connected together at one end, and each comprising a serrated jaw portion 5 and a handle portion G.-
